In Cleveland, he continued his business coursework at Cleveland State University and earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from the Nance College of Business Administration.
Before matriculating at Cleveland State University, Alex Spirikaitis worked as a Blacksmith at Cleveland Frog & Crossing Co., one of the most prominent railway manufacturing companies in the area’s history.

At the present-day Pettibone Ohio Corp., Alex Spirikaitis forged specialized railroad track equipment and helped increase the factory’s productivity during his time there. He later joined the sales staff of Coles Shoes, a local Edison Brothers store, and rose to the position of Assistant Manager after consistently demonstrating his sales leadership.
